I just realized the train cutscean at the beginning of the game is a shout out to the first scene in Fistful of Dynamite. Anyone else find any cool shout outs like that?

Splits posted:I have walked into the water a zillion times, tried to turn only to fall off a cliff, and fallen off plenty of balconies. I really hate how the game handles, including having a "brake" button for the horse. My family has horses, and they don't just start walking once you get on them, nor do they constantly start walking if you relax the reins after stopping them. Christ, what kind of loving lovely gamepad are you using? I just tested this and my horse doesn't move an inch when I get on it and even after I get him going full tilt, he stops on a dime when I pull the reins to stop him. I'm all for people giving their two cents on a game, but this is just ridiculous.

HitmanAndQuitIt posted:I can not for the life of me get the scrap "Protect mexicans from bandito attacks". All the random encounters I'm getting in the area are "Shoot birds" or "Capture prisoners" I'm not this far yet because I like just loving around but if it's like the "Protect Armadillo" scrap, it's not a random encounter like the other ones. A group of bandits will just attack a town at some point (listen for the screaming!) Unrelated, I haven't really had any problems with the controls in general, either. Shooting out windows likes to glitch out a decent amount though. I've found that as long as you don't take cover right under the window it usually works fine.

is it possible to shoot someone's hat off in a duel? I'm in mexico and this guy had the largest loving brim I could ever hope for and I am clicking the gently caress out of it and I got shot without a single x registering

Actually with this game and this game only I've noticed that so much as breathing up on the analogue stick will make it register as full tilt upwards. I'll go gambling and suddenly I will be betting everything as soon as the round starts, or my horses will saunter of their own accord. Doesn't happen in other games though, and I play MW2 on a really high sensitivity so I'd notice if it was just my controller.

When you lose a duel, is it a normal game over or something else?

Just played this at a mate's house earlier today for the first time, and i think it may be my new favourite dicking around game, as well as helping me fully realise my hatred for horses. Everything just seems incredibly tight and well put together, and it makes me wish they could upgrade GTA4's control system to be more like this so i don't feel like literally killing all my loved ones every time i play it. Quick question though, outside of dicking around, is the story-based gameplay worth actually purchasing a copy of the game for? (Short answer is probably yes)

I don't know what to tell you, I'm sitting here right in front of my game and I'm feathering the left stick forward and my horse will take two steps (four steps? four legs?) forward and then stop. Sometimes just one. Also, I can replicate the effect of the horse not stopping fully when I pull the "breaks" but I can get a complete stop if I hold the reins and don't release until he's come to a stand still. I'm really trying to make the controls suck here.

They might have a wandering 360 joystick. They're made of garbage and it affects 150% of all 360 controllers.

Does this game run worse if you install it to the Hard Drive or is it just a buggy mess no matter what? I'm loving the game, but the random freezing is obnoxious. Also, I'm not entirely sure what happens when you die. Does it just reload the last save or just send you back to the nearest house?

Someone said it earlier, but the roof of the saloon/your house in Chuparosa is really awesome for getting the large bounties. You just get like a thousand or so at a time, let it wear down, collect the fallen's guns, rinse and repeat. Also when I started doing this I tried to start it by shooting someone outside the saloon. Their friend pulled out a shotgun and that was the end of me. Then he started to pee on my corpse. This loving game.

Once you're approved, you'll be able to view the people the metatag is friends with. If you pull up the metatag's profile, there's another tab across the top which says "view friends" or something like that. Then you can see who is online. So, was it Rockstar's intention to make me hate every Mexican in the game? Because I do. There is something wrong with all of them. If they aren't morally bankrupt they're complete idiots. Sometimes both!

I actually think I figured that part out, but I couldn't tell how to join the specific game those people are in. Is that even possible or do you have to start a new game and invite everyone?

She was too bossy. What are you doing, stay on the road! We're running out of time! Girl, you may be too young por la revolucion, but surely you can shoot a gun while I drive >:[ I'm sure there are one or two exceptions in minor characters, but all the ones you had multiple contact with were generally unpleasant, even Luisa. I could not wait to get out of Mexico. Edit: ^^ You're right for the most part, but I think I was spoiled with Bonnie and the Marshal being stand-up folks. I think Mexico just felt that way because there wasn't a 'good' side, I didn't want to help any of them in the end. I mean, it's interesting writing, but ugh. Now I am in Blackwater waiting for the general store owner to get back in his store so I can buy this Standardbred deed, but he's wandering around town chatting everyone up, smoking under stairs, and talking about women's panties. It's been two days now. skoolmunkee fucked around with this message at 19:56 on May 29, 2010 |

A lot of them aren't aware that there are challenges in free roam. I sure as hell wasn't until a bunch of goons were talking about it in my posse. I'm really annoyed with the outlaw I-public enemy rank 3 challenge Become Public Enemy 50 times.

I don't even bother with them unless they got a title, wish you could see how you got your titles though as my current one is 'Tasted it...' and I want to know what the hell I did to get that.

Yeah, i generally do as much outside stuff as i can in a game (i.e platinumed AC2 etc), i think what i was trying to say was, would it be worth getting a copy myself or would just spending an afternoon at my mates shooting horses in the back of the head be roughly the same amount of enjoyment. I suppose the main benefit would be the online aspect, which i would probably love anyway. I do love the controls, shooting guys faces off has never been easier, and not having an auto aim for shooting was definitely a good idea

I'm loving the hell out of this game currently and I'm not even that far in. Early spoiler question: After confronting Williamson with the posse where they ride around you in the burnt down building and capturing his goon I saw a blip on my map for "item" but when I rode over there there was nothing there. What was it? However, in multiplayer, is everyone in public games just killing each other instead of forming posses like you're supposed to? Do I need to just join the goon metatag and play private games with serious people to enjoy it?

I spent half the game working with one who loved to sprint 30 yards past wherever the hell I whistled him to, then finally found out it was just him.

Baby Cakes posted:Though the music is decent in this game it leaves a bit to be desired. If there's one thing memorable from old western movies is the music, especially from Ennio Morricone. The two times when music with lyrics popped up really broke the atmosphere for me. The singing was too "modern" for the game's era and even if the lyrics were fitting, the song itself didn't fit into the game. I couldn't disagree with this harder. Red Dead Redemption isn't a spaghetti western. It's a Peckinpah western, if similar to any cinematic "type." But even then, I feel like it's a more completely historical game than it is married to any one type of western. The music for this game is loving perfect. My only complaints are: - The anti-government polemics aren't a little more robust. - Some lost opportunities with the Mexican revolution stuff (in terms of making both Reyes and Allende less ridiculous caricatures). - I can't shoot pinkertons. Everything else about this game is awesome.

The first horse I had was absolutely perfect, and would always be and go exactly where I whistled, but the one I have now is sort of retarded and takes forever to come, and half the time never really stops where I want it to.
